Smart Card Talk A quar terly newsletter for members and friends of the Smar t Card Alliance
September 2014
In This Issue:
The Mobile Industry: A Complicated Relationship On cable television, there are a number of reality television programs with the word “war” in their titles. “Storage Wars,” “Parking Wars,” “Design Wars” and “Cupcake Wars” all tap into specific viewer interests. Mobile devices – namely their capabilities, features and owner expectations – elicit strong emotions in people, from consumers to industry professionals. Now that Apple has jumped into the payments space, I write more about the co-dependent relationships among mobile device manufacturers, network providers, merchants and payment networks – the “Mobile Wallet Wars” – in my letter in this quarter’s Smart Card Talk newsletter. We also have an update on Alliance Councils, a Member Profile on Xerox, new CSEIP recipients, and more. Thank you for your interest and support of the Smart Card Alliance. Sincerely, Randy Vanderhoof Executive Director, Smart Card Alliance
